In a kind of suitable configuration, under walking around the node including at least one port transshipped, set up the communication path of replacement.Thus the route of the communication path of this replacement gets around the node guiding of the port with overload.This is probably favourable when the performance of whole network node is adversely affected by the overload of port.
According to another configuration, in order to determine that one of following waiting queue length is processed by overload tolerance: averagely waiting queue length, wherein this averagely waiting queue length is that multiple the temporal of waiting queue length detected on the previously given time period by waiting queue averagely calculate;And/or the waiting queue length of maximum and/or by the time upper in the past and current waiting queue length determines effectively waits queue length.Based on illustrated waiting queue length, can be to postpone or shake critical communication path to determine suitable communication path.

Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 illustrates the communication network of the present invention with multiple network node K and network management entity NM.Network node K is numbered 1 to 8, wherein the appropriate address of these digitized representations network node K.Each described network node K has a number of port P, can set up the communication connection KV to other network node K via these ports.In the present embodiment, corresponding with the quantity of port from the quantity of the communication connection of node K, wherein respective nodes can have the ratio greater amount of port of communication connection in principle.Only for the node K represented with address 1 and 5, it is equipped with its reference to port P.Communication connection KV can be based on circuit or wireless character according to the type of communication network.The most in the case of the latter it is possible that also construct the communication connection different from communication connection shown in FIG between node K.
Level is network management entity NM carried on nodek.The network management entity such as formed by central computer can exchange data with network node K via corresponding communication connection KVN.The communication connection KVN that figure 1 illustrates is only logic property, and need not be directly present between corresponding network node K and network management entity NM.What mode to be secondary for the present invention at the swapping data (wirelessly or non-wirelessly) of network management entity Yu network node K by.
In order to disclosure satisfy that when carrying out data transmission between the network node K and the network node K as destination node work as source node work of communication network for data transmission in end-to-end delay (delay) and/or the previously given requirement of delay variation (shake) aspect, in the active management according to the communication path set up in the communications network under the control of network management entity NM in the most packet-based communication network of Fig. 1.In principle, especially when due to the packet intermediate storage (so-called queuing) in network node K communication path along the determination between source node and destination node produce the packet of the forwarding time causing in each network node change congested time, end-to-end delay and jitter value may become critical.Its reason e.g. blocks output port or Priority Service in the packet of other intermediate storage with higher priority by sending other packet.The most deterministic owing to postponing, it is thus possible to produce variable delay and jitter value.
On the one hand the task of network management entity is to set up and manage the communication path formed in a communication network.On the other hand, the task of network management entity be at least within network nodes along the respective communication paths arrangement formed in the communications network port waiting queue in view of its waiting queue length monitor.Network management entity can determine the overload tolerance of port from this waiting queue length, wherein often can be inferred that the delay in data transmission and/or jitter problem from for one or more through overload tolerance involved, overload port communication path.There is multiple waiting queue (queue) in each port P typically for network node, these waiting queues are assigned to one or more priority (class of service).These priority are such as defined by IEEE 802.1P service type (Class of Service, CoS) or IP type of service (ToS).If involved overload tolerance exceedes previously given threshold value, namely the waiting queue length of the waiting queue of port is more than previously given threshold value, then set up the communication path of replacement under the port walking around overload via the port guided communication path of overload at least one.These paths are selected as at this so that critical port P or network node are not used.
This overload tolerance can be and the waiting directly proportional value of queue length.Equally, this overload tolerance can correspond to wait queue length, such as the byte quantity of the time till waiting queue processing is complete, etc..
Fig. 2 illustrates the communication network described in Fig. 1 in this example, sets up three communication path PF1, PF2, PF3 by network management entity NM in the communications network.This communication path 1 is stretched over network node 3 from network node 1 via network node 5 and 2.Communication path PF2 is stretched over network node 8 from network node 1 via network node 5 and 6.Communication path PF3 is stretched over network node 8 from network node 4 via network node 5 and 6.Thus in selected embodiment, all 3 communication paths PF1, PF2 and PF3 guide via network node 5, and wherein communication path PF2 and PF3 is also via common port P1(5) guide.Thus determining ground, packet may be occurred at port P1 (5) place congested, this packet congested all may causing for communication path PF2 and communication path PF3 postpones and/or shake.If that is formed by waiting queue length, exceed previously given threshold value in the overload tolerance of port P1 (5), then according to Fig. 3 by network node 5 to network management entity NM transmission message N.
Network management entity NM can infer, from in the overload tolerance of the communication path PF2, PF3 through port P1 (5), the delay and/or jitter problem being likely to occur.Due to this delay and/or jitter problem, network management entity NM is to two communication path PF2, and one of PF3 reconfigures.In the present embodiment, setting up the communication path PF2' replaced for communication path PF2, the communication path of this replacement is stretched over network node 8 from network node 1 via network node 2 and 3.
In order to set up communication path, network management entity NM uses known method for routing in principle.These communication paths such as can by directly in layer 3 routing table or layer 2 forward table typing set up.Set up or adaptation can also realize by measuring of affecting described routing table or forward table is carried out adaptation.This can be such as quickly generate tree (Rapid Spanning Tree, RSTP) or multiple spanning tree (Multiple Spanning Tree, Ospf in the case of MSTP) (Open Shortest Path First, OSPF) weighting or link cost and priority.Corresponding mechanism and action modes are that professional is by known in the art.
Transmit can carry out first along default path set in advance from the data of source node to destination node.This means first independently to form default path with communication path along its waiting queue length waiting queue stretched.When determining problem scenario in the case of monitoring network node K and waiting queue thereof continuously, network management entity NM is just intervened.
Request to setting up new communication path can be treated to so that new communication path avoids critical port or network node.This is the most exemplary illustrates, wherein illustrates from network node 1 via the new communication path PF4 of network node 4 and 7 to network node 6 via according to the communication path of Fig. 3.Although shortest path will extend to network node 6 from network node 1 via the port P1 (5) of network node 5, select the path via network node 4 and 7, with avoid on the port P1 (5) of network node 5 manifest congested.
In order to set up new communication path, determine that low first threshold and the highest Second Threshold are useful.When exceeding low first threshold, setting up new communication path, such as communication path PF4 via the network node replaced, it adds existing communication path PF1, PF2' and PF3 to.Also make existing communication path portion when exceeding higher Second Threshold change its course.
One or more threshold value can also be defined the most individually in principle so that message is transferred to network management entity NM by network node K when the corresponding limit is exceeded for each described network node.This makes to become unnecessary by this management entity constantly state of inquiring about and thus save the communication resource.
In order to determine overload tolerance, being preferably used and averagely wait queue length, wherein this averagely waiting queue length averagely calculates from detected the temporal of waiting queue length multiple on the previously given time period.Thus can avoid strong fluctuation.Alternatively, it is also possible to definition maximum waiting queue length, wherein this maximum wait queue length such as can be corresponding with higher Second Threshold above.Equally, use effective waiting queue length to determine that overload tolerance is also possible, wherein from the time in the past determine that this effectively waits queue length in current waiting queue length.Thus can consider to wait the historical record of queue length, the most such as, can carry out exponential smoothing.
In another configuration, can alternatively be limited to monitor waiting queue length, because it typically carries the data service sensitive to delay and jitter for the class of service (priority class such as determined) determined.
In addition to considering to be measured by overload above or below average, maximum or effective waiting queue length, it is also possible to derive delay or the absolute end-to-end value of shake by this overload tolerance by managing system entity.Multiple delay components are added: the overload calculated by the respective bandwidth of link is measured for this;Delay that produce within network nodes due to switching process, that can be estimated or measure;The propagation delay (propagation Delay(propagation delay) in all involved communication connections, (such as by the response mechanism being standardized in the scope of time synchronized according to IEEE 1588 or 802.1as) can be estimated or measure).This especially must be informed that to causing the application of data service or being favourable when communication path only just allows and is set up under the subsidiary conditions less than the delay determined or jitter value in current delay and/or jitter value.
